    Sons of Provo ROCKS!

    I went to the premiere of this movie and I thought it was SO funny!Everyone was laughing during the movie. My favorite song is Dang fetch oh my Heck. my favorite scene is wearing Kirby is in the bathroom and his CTR ring falls down the drain. I LOVE Kirby Heybourne and I wish he was single! I am I BIG fan of HaleStorm movies and when I saw this movie it made me an even bigger fan! My favorite line from this movie is WWDAMD what would Donny and Marie do? And within 2 to 4 weeks I get an answer. that's what Danny said. will was also very funny. I liked it where he got that beard thing and they had to shave it off. also when will and Danny met Kirby for the first time and he was wearing makeup. that was hilarious I give this movie 10 stars.

    Great Mocumentary

    This is a film for all those who love the quirky, off beat humor of the mocumentary style. These guys are great! Talk about funny, and a great sense of timing-wow. If you love the T.V. show "the office" you will love this movie. Also great for fans of "Waiting for Guffman", as well as "Best in Show" etc. Funny and hip. I can't wait to check out some of the titles previewed on the DVD. If you are into this type of film, you will also love all of the bonus features. The movie starts with a hysterical monologue from one of the stars of the movie. It was so funny it took my wife and I 5 minutes to make a selection, we just kept watching and laughing. Check out the movie and the bonuses!!!

    Fun, but more importantly...

    ... who knew the Mormon church had such a thriving film industry? I watched the trailers that came with the DVD, and I was pretty impressed, even as a non-Mormon, at how much this one company has cranked out.

    The film itself? Despite dragging in a few spots and sometimes going a bit too much over the edge with the jokes, it was great fun to watch. The songs the "boys" perform are by and large a riot, and the finale number was very moving and touching.

    I'd be curious to know if the filmmakers were influenced by ALTAR BOYZ, an off-Broadway musical about a four-parts-Catholic-one-part-Jewish boy band.

    The Spinal Tap of Mormon Boy Bands

    This film is hilarious. There were many moments which paralleled Spiral Tap, which is in a large part its inspiration. The performances are great, with the actors doing their own singing and song writing. Overall a very talented group of people put together a hugely entertaining film with many laugh out loud moments. Done in the Spinal Tap style of a mockumentary, it even parodies this classic in fresh and funny ways. Who new the inner workings of trying to be a successful Christian Boy Band could be so funny? I'm glad somebody thought of it. It should get theatrical play at some point. In the mean time it is definitely checking out in festivals, where it seems to be getting good exposure.

    Funny

    "Sons of Provo" intrigued me initially because I know some of the supporting actors--the ones who play Jill Kieth and the recording engineer along with the top-billed ones. It was funny the whole way through.

    There were only a couple of things where my expectations weren't met. 1)I wasn't ready for the documentary feel it had which made it feel more cheaply made than it actually was. 2)I had listened to the CD several times prior to the movie and was somewhat let down that not any of the songs were played in their entirety.

    I wouldn't mind seeing it again with my expectations tweaked a little. Yes, it will have a documentary cinematic feel and no, none of the songs will be performed all the way through.

    My favorite scene would have to be when the band crashes the wedding reception and the bride goes running off crying.

    That's all. I may write another review when I see it again.

    • Quotes

      Will Jensen: We're looking for someone a little more dedicated, quite honestly.

      Danny Jensen: Someone who's willing to commit.

      Will Jensen: Right, and somebody that is willing to walk the path of righteousness with us. We're going to find someone that has some wicked moves...

      Danny Jensen: Oh yeah, I mean pipes.

      Will Jensen: ...Some bad mother vocal tricks, and some that most importantly, is in touch with the Divine, um, as we are. A Black guy would be awsome, right?

      Danny Jensen: Yeah!

      Will Jensen: There's only like 10 Black guys in Utah, but we'll find them.
